How we grade them
| 2.8GPALastPassGood | 4.0GPAZoho VaultExcellent | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C$36 a year mostly buys what Bitwarden and Proton Pass give away: your passwords on phone and laptop together. Families at $4 a month for six is the better deal. | AStandard is $0.90 a user a month billed annually, or $1 monthly, where password managers typically start at about $2.99. That buys sharing, user roles and admin controls. Professional at $4.50 is where it gets ordinary. |
| Free plan and trial | BUnlimited passwords for nothing, and it never runs out. But you get one device type: computers or phones, not both. Bitwarden and Proton Pass have no such rule. | AFree Forever gives one person unlimited passwords and passkeys on unlimited devices, with autofill, offline access and a built-in authenticator. The only real gap is sharing, which starts on Standard. |
| Features | APasskeys, sharing, emergency access, breach alerts and 1 GB for files, plus single sign-on on the business plans. On paper, nothing's missing. | APasswords, passkeys, autofill and a two-factor authenticator, plus sharing at several permission levels, password policies and audit trails of who opened what. Enterprise adds single sign-on and approval before anyone sees a critical password. |
| Ease of use | C4.4 from about 57,000 App Store ratings, the lowest of the big names here. The gripes repeat: autofill getting in the way, and being logged out again and again. | A4.7 from about 880 App Store ratings. The vault opens with Touch ID, Windows Hello, a passkey or a YubiKey, so there's less master-password typing. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWindows, Mac, iPhone, Android, Apple Watch, the web and five browsers. Linux only gets the browser extensions. Business plans plug into Okta and Google Workspace. | AWeb, Mac, Windows, iPhone, Android and browser extensions. It connects to Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Okta, OneLogin and Zoho's own apps, and Professional adds a command-line tool and webhooks. No Linux desktop app. |
| Best for | families who share a lot of logins | cheap password sharing for small teams |
